WWE: Fantasy booking a two night WrestleMania 36 event

Bayley vs. Becky Lynch – Title vs. Title

So at Wrestle Kingdom 14, Night Two offered NJPW fans the first ever “Gold Dash” where the respective winners of Night One’s Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championship matches duked it out in a Winner Take All double title match at the end of Night Two.

This mostly served to close out Tetsuya Naito’s multi-year redemption arc, but I thought this idea was interesting enough to apply to this WrestleMania fantasy booking. Let Night 2 be a night of redemption for a few folks. In this case, it’s for Bayley.

Redeem her after a streak of losses (the big one being at Survivor Series) even after her attitude change. By the same sword, after a proposed face turn leading up to her match with Banks, allow her to answer for her sins after she first turned heel by mercilessly attacking Becky Lynch.

For whatever questionable booking that Bayley may have gone through in the last year, it’d all be worth it to see her hand raised with both titles in hand and being the first to unseat The Man after a whole calendar year. And in a nice show of sportsmanship, in a moment echoing what we saw at the first TakeOver: Brooklyn show, we see all Four Horsewomen stand tall and celebrate at the end of the match.

Only to be attacked by the MMA Four Horsewomen afterwards, teasing a Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen match for the future.

Winner: Bayley

Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar – Title vs. Title

I know, I know, I know. I KNOW.

I get it. None of you reading this want to see Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar again, yet alone as a Winner Take All double title match. But remember, Gold Dash is all about satisfying redemption arcs, and I feel like Reigns battling Lesnar one last time provides a certain redeeming closure after WrestleMania 34’s ending.

Sure, Reigns got that redemption at SummerSlam 2018, but this is for the casual fans who only watch WrestleMania every year for their sole, annual taste of wrestling.

After failing to beat Lesnar on the Grandest Stage of Them All twice, the third time proves to be the charm as a stacked WrestleMania weekend ends with Roman Reigns holding the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship high above his head.

And the marks complain online. Oh boy, do they complain.

Winners: Roman Reigns
